GST software in Andaman & Nicobar Islands

What A&N-specific compliance looks like

A&N's GST is administered by its UT tax department. As a UT without a legislature, intra-UT supplies show CGST + UTGST — UTGST, not SGST. HelloBooks ships multi-GSTIN per entity for groups running more than one registration, each with its own ledger and return trail.

The UT does not levy a profession tax — there is no PTRC/PTEC registration or monthly PT challan. HelloBooks payroll runs salary TDS, PF and ESIC but won't surface a profession-tax line for an A&N-registered entity.

Tourism billing, inbound ITC, e-invoice and GSTR returns

Tourism is the islands' biggest GST surface — room tariffs, dive and tour packages and transport each carry their own treatment, and HelloBooks handles the rate mix on one invoice. Because almost all goods are shipped in from the mainland, inbound IGST and 2A/2B matching on inbound ITC are central; HelloBooks runs nightly reconciliation so inbound credit is matched as vendors upload.

For place-of-supply, a mainland supplier billing a Port Blair buyer shows IGST in the purchase register, while an intra-UT supply shows CGST + UTGST. Any business above the ₹5 crore threshold gets NIC e-invoicing with the IRN and signed QR generated in the background, and GSTR-1, 3B and 9 file via a connected GSP.

Built for A&N tourism, fisheries and trade

The islands' commercial base is tourism and hospitality; fisheries and seafood; timber and allied trades; and inbound-dependent retail and distribution around Port Blair. HelloBooks supports it on one platform: occupancy- and package-based revenue with multi-rate billing for hospitality, lot-based inventory for seafood, and multi-warehouse stock for distribution. India payroll runs end-to-end with PF, ESIC and gratuity (no profession tax in the UT), and Tally voucher sync is built in.

Cash flow forecasting for A&N businesses

Tourist seasonality and the lead time on inbound stock create the islands' cash gap — costs and stock are committed ahead of revenue. Meanwhile GST settles on the 20th and TDS deposits land by the 7th. HelloBooks cash flow forecasting reads AR ageing, recurring revenue and vendor bills, applies driver-based assumptions, and projects a 13-week and 12-month cash position with best/base/worst branches — the same model a CFO would build in Excel, but linked live to the books.
